And you know, my parents never complained.
21

而且我的父母从没抱怨过，
01:17
They supported me all the way through it.
22
65040
1976
他们从始至终支持着我，
01:19
It wasn't their dream.

There was, however, one awkward

that I want to tell you about.

1456
我想要分享给你们。
01:37
I was 27, and I was home from Barcelona,
30
85200
2776
那时候我27岁，
我从巴塞罗那回到家，
我从巴塞罗那回到家，
01:40
and I was visiting
my parents for Christmas,

那天是圣诞节，
我回家看望父母，

01:42
and I was cooking dinner with my mother,
and we were alone in the kitchen.

32
90720

当时我在帮母亲做晚饭时，
厨房里就我们两个人。
厨房里就我们两个人。
01:47
And she was quiet, too quiet.
33
95240
2816
她当时沉默着，一言不发。
01:50
Something was wrong.
34
98080
1456
我觉得有些不对劲。
01:51
And so I said, "Mom, what's on your mind?"
35
99560
2520
我就问我母亲：
“妈，你在想什么呢？”
“妈，你在想什么呢？”
01:54
And she said, "Your dad and I
are really worried about you."
are really worried about you."
36
102760
4256
她说：“我和你爸爸真的很担心你。”
01:59
And I said, "What?"
I mean, what could it be, at this point?
I mean, what could it be, at this point?
37
107040
2896
我很惊讶：“什么嘛？
你们现在有什么好担心？”
你们现在有什么好担心？”
02:01
And she said, "I want you to be
completely honest with me:
completely honest with me:
38
109960
2800
她答道：
“我希望你诚实地回答我的问题：
“我希望你诚实地回答我的问题：
02:05
have you been voting for Republicans?"
39
113680
1936
你是不是投票给共和党了？”
02:07
(Laughter)
40
115640
2200
（笑声）
02:12
Now, the truth is,
41
120680
1376
事实是，
02:14
I wasn't really political,
I was just a French horn player.
I was just a French horn player.
42
122080
4376
我对政治没什么兴趣，
我只是个法国小号吹奏者。
我只是个法国小号吹奏者。
02:18
But I had a bit of an epiphany,
43
126480
3535
但我有点明白了，
02:22
and they had detected it,
and it was causing some confusion.
and it was causing some confusion.
44
130039
2857
他们察觉到了一些事，
所以有些困惑。
所以有些困惑。
02:24
You see, I had become
an enthusiast for capitalism,
an enthusiast for capitalism,
45
132920
4680
那时我成了资本主义的狂热追捧者，
02:30
and I want to tell you why that is.
46
138200
2616
让我告诉你缘何如此。
02:32
It stems from a lifelong interest of mine
47
140840
4136
不管你信不信，
它根源于我一直以来
它根源于我一直以来
02:37
in, believe it or not, poverty.
48
145000
1960
对贫穷的研究。
02:39
See, when I was a kid
growing up in Seattle,
growing up in Seattle,
49
147920
2336
在西雅图当我还是个孩童的时候，
02:42
I remember the first time
I saw real poverty.
I saw real poverty.
50
150280
3616
我记得那是第一次
我接触了真正的贫穷。
我接触了真正的贫穷。
02:45
We were a lower middle class family,
but that's of course not real poverty.
but that's of course not real poverty.
51
153920
4376
我的家庭属于中产阶级的下层，
但那当然不是真正的贫穷。
但那当然不是真正的贫穷。
02:50
That's not even close.
52
158320
1736
一点都不是。
02:52
The first time I saw poverty,
and poverty's face,
and poverty's face,
53
160080
3416
我第一次看到贫穷的真面目，
02:55
was when I was six
or seven years old, early 1970s.
or seven years old, early 1970s.
54
163520
2816
是在20世纪70年代初，
我还只有六、七岁
我还只有六、七岁
02:58
And it was like a lot of you,
kind of a prosaic example, kind of trite.
kind of a prosaic example, kind of trite.
55
166360
4536
像我们中很多人一样，
这个例子很平凡普通。
这个例子很平凡普通。
03:02
It was a picture in the National
Geographic Magazine
Geographic Magazine
56
170920
3376
那是《国家地理》中的一幅画
03:06
of a kid who was my age in East Africa,
57
174320
4296
画中是东非一个国家的
跟我差不多大的孩子，
跟我差不多大的孩子，
03:10
and there were flies on his face
and a distended belly.
and a distended belly.
58
178640
2576
苍蝇在他脸上飞，肚子膨胀着。
03:13
And he wasn't going to make it,
and I knew that, and I was helpless.
and I knew that, and I was helpless.
59
181240
4920
我知道他挺不过去了，
我知道的，而我却无能为力。
我知道的，而我却无能为力。
03:18
Some of you remember that picture,
60
186720
1976
你们当中或许有人记得那样一幅画，
03:20
not exactly that picture,
one just like it.
one just like it.
61
188720
2016
不一定完全一样，
但很相像的一幅画。
但很相像的一幅画。
03:22
It introduced the West
to grinding poverty around the world.
to grinding poverty around the world.
62
190760
4800
它向西方世界展现了
世界其它地方令人难以忍受的贫穷。
世界其它地方令人难以忍受的贫穷。
03:28
Well, that vision kind of haunted me
as I grew up and I went to school
as I grew up and I went to school
63
196240
4776
那样的图景在我的脑海中挥之不去，
伴随着我成长、上学、
伴随着我成长、上学、
03:33
and I dropped out and dropped in
64
201040
1776
退学、开始组建
03:34
and started my family.
65
202840
1960
我自己的家庭。
03:37
And I wondered, what happened to that kid?
66
205496
2000
我很想知道，
那个孩子后来怎么样了？
那个孩子后来怎么样了？
03:39
Or to people just like him
all over the world?
all over the world?
67
207520
2680
或者说世界其他地方的
像他一样的人怎么样了？
像他一样的人怎么样了？
03:43
And so I started to study,
even though I wasn't in college,
even though I wasn't in college,
68
211200
2776
我开始研究这个问题，
即便那时我已不在大学了，
即便那时我已不在大学了，
03:46
I was looking for the answer:
69
214000
1416
我仍在寻找答案：
03:47
what happened to the world's
poorest people?
poorest people?
70
215440
2096
世界上最贫穷的人们
身上都发生了什么？
身上都发生了什么？
03:49
Has it gotten worse?
Has it gotten better? What?
Has it gotten better? What?
71
217560
2256
是变糟了，还是变好了？
到底怎么样了？
到底怎么样了？
03:51
And I found the answer,
and it changed my life,
and it changed my life,
72
219840
2776
我最终找到了答案，
并改变了我的人生。
并改变了我的人生。
03:54
and I want to share it with you.
73
222640
1560
我想与你们分享。
03:57
See --
74
225040
1200
其实
03:59
most Americans believe
that poverty has gotten worse
that poverty has gotten worse
75
227760
4256
大多数美国人觉得从孩童时代、
从他们看到那景象至今，
从他们看到那景象至今，
04:04
since we were children,
since they saw that vision.
since they saw that vision.
76
232040
3136
贫困变得更严重了。
04:07
If you ask Americans, "Has poverty
gotten worse or better around the world?",
gotten worse or better around the world?",
77
235200
3656
如果你问美国人：“世界贫困问题是
更严重了还是有所好转？”
更严重了还是有所好转？”
04:10
70 percent will say that hunger
has gotten worse since the early 1970s.
has gotten worse since the early 1970s.
78
238880
3336
70%的人会说自20世纪
70年代初饥饿问题更严重了。
70年代初饥饿问题更严重了。
04:14
But here's the truth.
79
242240
1496
然而事实是这样的。
04:15
Here's the epiphany that I had
that changed my thinking.
that changed my thinking.
80
243760
3696
这是使我改变想法、
让我顿悟的一个时刻。
让我顿悟的一个时刻。
04:19
From 1970 until today,
81
247480
2760
自1970年至今，
04:22
the percentage of the world's population
82
250880
2856
世界处于饥饿水平的
04:25
living in starvation levels,
83
253760
2016
通过通货膨胀校正后
04:27
living on a dollar a day or less,
obviously adjusted for inflation,
obviously adjusted for inflation,
84
255800
3656
每天的生活费
不多于1美元的人口百分比
不多于1美元的人口百分比
04:31
that percentage has declined
85
259480
3216
下降了
04:34
by 80 percent.
86
262720
1680
80%。
04:37
There's been an 80 percent decline
in the world's worst poverty
in the world's worst poverty
87
265080
2976
从我小时候至今
世界最穷困的人数百分比
世界最穷困的人数百分比
04:40
since I was a kid.
88
268080
1216
减少了80%。
04:41
And I didn't even know about it.
89
269320
1576
而我却不清楚这一事实。
04:42
This, my friends, that's a miracle.
90
270920
1880
我的朋友们，这是一个奇迹！
04:45
That's something we ought to celebrate.
91
273320
2296
这是值得我们庆贺的事情。
04:47
It's the greatest antipoverty achievement
in the history of mankind,
in the history of mankind,
92
275640
4256
这是人类史上反贫穷的最大成就，
04:51
and it happened in our lifetimes.
93
279920
2536
而且就发生在我们的有生之年。
04:54
(Applause)
94
282480
3536
（掌声 ）
04:58
So when I learned this, I asked,
what did that? What made it possible?
what did that? What made it possible?
95
286040
4856
当我知道这一事实时，我想，
是什么使得脱贫变得可能呢？
是什么使得脱贫变得可能呢？
05:02
Because if you don't know why,
you can't do it again.
you can't do it again.
96
290920
2816
因为若你不知道原因，
这将只是昙花一现。
这将只是昙花一现。
05:05
If you want to replicate it
97
293760
1336
我们要复制成功，
05:07
and get the next two billion
people out of poverty,
people out of poverty,
98
295120
2536
要使得仍在贫困中挣扎
的2亿人民摆脱现状，
的2亿人民摆脱现状，
05:09
because that's what we're talking about:
since I was a kid,
since I was a kid,
99
297680
2776
因为那是我们一直在谈论的问题：
从我还是个孩子的时候，
从我还是个孩子的时候，
05:12
two billion of the least of these,
our brothers and sisters,
our brothers and sisters,
100
300480
2816
20亿最贫穷的人，
我们的兄弟姐妹，
我们的兄弟姐妹，
05:15
have been pulled out of poverty.
101
303316
1540
脱离了贫穷。
05:16
I want the next two billion,
so I've got to know why.
so I've got to know why.
102
304880
2486
我希望拯救其余的20亿人，
所以我必须知道原因。
所以我必须知道原因。
05:19
And I went in search of an answer.
103
307386
1630
我寻找着答案，
05:21
And it wasn't a political answer,
because I didn't care.
because I didn't care.
104
309040
2656
它不是政治性的答案，
因为我根本不在乎政治的解答。
因为我根本不在乎政治的解答。
05:23
You know what, I still don't care.
105
311720
1656
现在，依然不在乎。
05:25
I wanted the best answer
from mainstream economists
from mainstream economists
106
313400
4816
我渴求从主流经济学家们
那里得到最佳的答案
那里得到最佳的答案
05:30
left, right and center.
107
318240
2120
无论是左派的，右派的
和中间派的经济学家们。
和中间派的经济学家们。
05:32
And here it is.
108
320880
1200
下面
05:34
Here are the reasons.
109
322560
1256
我开始讲具体原因。
05:35
There are five reasons that two billion
of our brothers and sisters
of our brothers and sisters
110
323840
3736
从孩提时代到现在，
20亿人民脱离贫困
20亿人民脱离贫困
05:39
have been pulled out of poverty
since I was a kid.
since I was a kid.
111
327600
2376
有五点原因。
05:42
Number one: globalization.
112
330000
2520
第一：全球化
05:45
Number two: free trade.
113
333080
2096
第二：自由贸易
05:47
Number three: property rights.
114
335200
2336
第三：产权
05:49
Number four: rule of law.
115
337560
2536
第四：法治
05:52
Number five: entrepreneurship.
116
340120
2976
第五：企业家精神
05:55
It was the free enterprise system
spreading around the world
spreading around the world
117
343120
4256
这些是1970年后席卷全球的
05:59
after 1970 that did that.
118
347400
1776
自由市场经济体系促成的。
06:01
Now, I'm not naive.
119
349200
2416
我并不幼稚。
06:03
I know that free enterprise isn't perfect,
120
351640
2456
我知道自由市场经济并不完美，
06:06
and I know that free enterprise
isn't everything we need
isn't everything we need
121
354120
3136
我也知道自由市场经济
并不能满足我们
并不能满足我们
06:09
to build a better world.
122
357280
1216
建设更美好的世界的全部需求。
06:10
But that is great.
123
358520
2536
但它是伟大的。
06:13
And that's beyond politics.
124
361080
1336
并且是超越政治的。
06:14
Here's what I learned.
This is the epiphany.
This is the epiphany.
125
362440
2096
这是我学到并且顿悟的一点。
06:16
Capitalism is not just about accumulation.
126
364560
3016
资本主义不仅仅是资本的积累
06:19
At its best, it's about aspiration,
127
367600
2536
它的绝佳之处在于：它与抱负相关，
06:22
which is what so many people
on this stage talk about,
on this stage talk about,
128
370160
2696

about pulling people out of poverty
138
397480
2056
关于使人们脱离贫穷的观点
06:51
is as follows:

It sounds like Milton Friedman

因为他是对我说的。
07:17
Crazy.
148
425640

想不到吧。
07:19
And I said, "Hallelujah."
149
427160
2680
我当时说："哈利路亚！"
07:22
But more than that, I said,
150

"What an opportunity."
151
433320
1696
“多么绝佳的机会。”
07:27
You know what I was a thinking?

536560
1256
我们要怎么解决这一问题？
09:09
Well, first, let's be honest:
there are differences.
there are differences.
188
537840
3656
首先，让我们诚实面对吧：
分歧是存在的。
分歧是存在的。
09:13
Let's not minimize the differences.
That would be really naïve.
That would be really naïve.
189
541520
3696
我们无法减小分歧，
因为那是幼稚的行为。

09:17
There's a lot of good research on this.
190
545240
2056
对此有相当多深入的研究。

A veteran of the TED stage

09:32
And he's shown, for example,
that conservatives and liberals

他证明了保守派和自由派
09:35
have a very different emphasis
on what they think is important.

196
563194
3016
对于他们认为重要的事
有很不同的见解。
有很不同的见解。
09:38
For example, Jon Haidt has shown
197
566234
3302
比如，乔纳森·海特说明了
09:41
that liberals care about poverty
198
569560

自由主义者关心贫穷
09:44
59 percent more than they care

比关心贫穷多28%。
09:54
Irreconcilable differences, right?
202
582920
2056
看上去不可调和的分歧，对么？
09:57
We'll never come together. Wrong.
203
585000
2000
我们不可能走到一起？不！
09:59
That is diversity
in which lies our strength.
in which lies our strength.
204
587520
3376
我们的力量恰恰在于分歧之中。
10:02
Remember what pulled up the poor.
205
590920
4136
牢记是什么停止了贫穷：
10:07
It was the obsession with poverty,
206
595080
3056
是对贫穷问题的痴迷和关注，
10:10
accompanied by the method
of economic freedom
of economic freedom
207
598160
4216
和全世界范围内的
10:14
spreading around the world.
208

自由经济秩序。
10:16
We need each other, in other words,
209
604040
2536
我们彼此需要，换句话说，
10:18
if we want to help people and get the next
two billion people out of poverty.
two billion people out of poverty.
210
606600
3620
如果我们想要帮助人们，
想要帮助另外2亿人民脱离贫困。
想要帮助另外2亿人民脱离贫困。
10:22
There's no other way.
211
610244
1280
别无他法。
10:24
Hmm.
212
612560
1336
嗯。
10:25
How are we going to get that?
213
613920
1480
我们要怎么做呢？
10:28
It's a tricky thing, isn't it.
214
616360
1656
这是很微妙的事情，不是么？
10:30
We need innovative thinking.
215
618040
2216
我们要创新思维。
10:32
A lot of it's on this stage.
216
620280
1656
很多的创新思想就在这个舞台。
10:33
Social entrepreneurship.
Yeah. Absolutely. Phenomenal.
Yeah. Absolutely. Phenomenal.
217
621960
3160
是的！那些非凡的
社会的企业家精神。

10:38
We need investment overseas
218

以可持续的、负责的、
符合伦理道德的方式投资。
符合伦理道德的方式投资。
10:45
But you know what we really need?
220
633040
1816
但你们知道我们
真正需要的是什么吗？
真正需要的是什么吗？
10:46
We need a new day in flexible ideology.
221
634880
4616
我们需要打开灵活思维的新天地，
10:51
We need to be less predictable.
222
639520
2560
我们需要少一些的“可以预见”，
10:54
Don't we?
223
642680
1216
对吗？
10:55
Do you ever feel like your own ideology
is starting to get predictable?
is starting to get predictable?
224
643920
4576
你们是否曾感到自己的
思想开始变得可预见？
思想开始变得可预见？
11:00
Kinda conventional?
225
648520
1736
开始循规蹈矩？
11:02
Do you ever feel like you're always
listening to people who agree with you?
listening to people who agree with you?
226
650280
4136
你们是否感到自己
总是听信与自己意见一致的人的话？
总是听信与自己意见一致的人的话？
11:06
Why is that dangerous?
227
654440
1736
为什么那样是危险的？
11:08
Because when we talk
in this country about economics,
in this country about economics,
228
656200
3576
因为当我们在这个国家谈论经济的时候，
11:11
on the right, conservatives,
229
659800
1656
一边是保守主义者，
11:13
you're always talking about taxes
and regulations and big government.
and regulations and big government.
230
661480
4640
谈论的总是税、规则和大政府统治。
11:18
And on the left, liberals,
you're talking about economics,
you're talking about economics,
231
666880
2736
而另一边是自由主义者，谈到经济
11:21
it's always about income inequality.
232
669640
2256
总是关于收入不平等。
11:23
Right? Now those are important things,
233
671920
3416
是吧？那些确实都很重要，
11:27
really important to me,
really important to you.
really important to you.
234
675360
2256
对我很重要，对你们也很重要。
11:29
But when it comes to lifting people up
235
677640
2536
但那些正在挨饿的人
11:32
who are starving and need us today,
those are distractions.
those are distractions.
236
680200
4456
需要我们的帮助时，
这些都只是让人分心的问题。
这些都只是让人分心的问题。
11:36
We need to come together
around the best ways
around the best ways
237
684680
3416
我们应当
在最好的方法面前团结起来，
在最好的方法面前团结起来，
11:40
to mitigate poverty
using the best tools at our disposal,
using the best tools at our disposal,
238
688120
3336
尽我们的可能减少贫困,
11:43
and that comes only when conservatives
recognize that they need liberals
recognize that they need liberals
239
691480
4496
只有当保守派意识到
他们需要自由主义者
他们需要自由主义者
11:48
and their obsession with poverty,
240
696000
1616
对贫穷的忧虑，
11:49
and liberals need conservatives
and their obsession with free markets.
and their obsession with free markets.
241
697640
5120
并且自由主义者也需要
保守派对自由市场的痴迷时，
保守派对自由市场的痴迷时，
11:55
That's the diversity in which lies
the future strength of this country,
the future strength of this country,
242
703240
4496
我们才会成功。
只有我们选择这条路，这种多样性才会
只有我们选择这条路，这种多样性才会
11:59
if we choose to take it.
243
707760
1960
孕育未来国家强大的力量。
12:02
So how are we going to do it?
How are we going to do it together?
How are we going to do it together?
244
710760
3056
我们要怎么达成这一目的呢？
怎样共同达成呢？
怎样共同达成呢？
12:05
I've got to have some action items,
not just for you but for me.
not just for you but for me.
245
713840
3160
我有一些行动上的建议，
对你们，也是对我自己。
对你们，也是对我自己。
12:09
Number one. Action item number one:

行动准则第一条：
12:12
remember, it's not good enough
just to tolerate people who disagree.
just to tolerate people who disagree.
247
720320
5216
切记，仅仅容忍别人的
不同意见是不够好的，
不同意见是不够好的，
12:17
It's not good enough.
248
725560
1696
远远不够。
12:19
We have to remember that we need
people who disagree with us,
people who disagree with us,
249
727280
3896
我们要铭记我们需要
与我们意见不合的人，
与我们意见不合的人，
12:23
because there are people
who need all of us
who need all of us
250
731200
2336
因为有一群人
需要我们所有人的帮助，
需要我们所有人的帮助，
12:25
who are still waiting for these tools.
251
733560
2440
他们仍在等待。
12:28
Now, what are you going to do?
How are you going to express that?
How are you going to express that?
252
736680
3296
你们准备怎么做呢？怎么表现呢？
12:32
Where does this start? It starts here.
253
740000
1936
从哪里开始呢？就从这里！
12:33
You know, all of us
in this room, we're blessed.
in this room, we're blessed.
254
741960
3256
在座的所有人，我们都是幸福的。
12:37
We're blessed with people
who listen to us.

我们有倾听我们的人，
12:39
We're blessed with prosperity.
We're blessed with leadership.
We're blessed with leadership.
256
747320
2896
我们很成功，
我们拥有领导力。
我们拥有领导力。
12:42
When people hear us,
with the kind of unpredictable ideology,
with the kind of unpredictable ideology,
257
750240
4400
当人们听到了
我们未知意识形态的思想，
我们未知意识形态的思想，
12:47
then maybe people will listen.
258
755200
2416
或许他们才会倾听我们。
12:49
Maybe progress will start at that point.
259
757640
2176
也许这就是成功的起点。
12:51
That's number one. Number two.
260
759840
1760
这是第一点。第二。
12:54
Number two: I'm asking you
and I'm asking me
and I'm asking me
261
762160
3800
第二点：我在请你们，也请我自己
12:58
to be the person specifically
who blurs the lines,
who blurs the lines,
262
766680
4376
成为模糊界限的特定个人，
13:03
who is ambiguous, who is hard to classify.
263
771080
3280
成为一个含糊的，难以界定的人。
13:07
If you're a conservative,
264

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Arthur Brooks - Social scientist, authorAs president of the American Enterprise Institute, Arthur Brooks is changing the way conservatives think about poverty and opportunity.
Why you should listen
When classical French horn player Arthur Brooks returned to the United States from Spain with no money and few academic credentials, he felt he was immigrating to his own country. Now, as president of the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute (and an author of many columns and books, including his latest, The Conservative Heart), he's injecting a much-needed dose of compassion into contemporary conservative discourse.
A tireless advocate of free enterprise, Brooks argues that "a conservatism that fights poverty, promotes equal opportunity and extols spiritual enlightenment" is what the United States needs to restore prosperity and happiness.
